The spa, featuring a Finnish wood sauna and a stone outdoor jacuzzi, creates a serene oasis for relaxation and regeneration. Outdoors, the garden offers dedicated spaces for relaxation, a solarium area, and a lounge, ideal for enjoying summer days in total serenity. Under the main porch, a long wooden table with 12 seats and a charming stone grill is perfect for outdoor lunches, dinners, and barbecues.
Inside, a large kitchen is available for those who prefer to cook independently, with a spacious table that accommodates up to 10 people. Every corner is thoughtfully designed to offer a complete and regenerating wellness experience, adapting to the needs of each guest.

Retreat location
Built at the end of the 19th century in the heart of Lanzo d'Intelvi, 920 metres above sea level, this historic residence was transformed into a monastery during the First World War for a period of time. Today, it is an exclusive villa. Expertly renovated, it has been transformed into a family place for yoga, meditation, breathwork, pilates, and wellness retreats, but also for private events and other unforgettable experiences to be enjoyed in groups.
